Cedric Richmond, a New Orleanian Democrat and head of the Congressional Black Caucus, sent the National Football League a letter Monday morning urging team owners to consider the stances of protesting black players in terms of patriotism and combating police brutality.

"Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing."
No.
Hey Black Caucus, I got a name for you too: Micah Xavier Johnson. Remember him? The scumbag that BLM incited into murdering five Dallas LEOs and injuring others?
Also, curious why you didn’t bother putting Michael Brown’s name in the letter. He started all this BLM nonsense, didn’t he with his shooting? Seems like a major ommission.
Sorry, CBC, MANY people of all races and colors are quite fearful for their lives when they encounter a Black person. I have been harangued, intimidated, mugged, robbed, and assaulted about five times in my life -- all by Black persons -- starting at age 13. I do not hang around places where this is likely to happen. It's happened in small towns and big cities. So you'll excuse me if I continue to be fearful.
I cannot imagine what it's like to be a police officer in high-crime Black areas.
The solution is simple and entirely within your grasp, CBC. And the solution is not kneeling at football games or acting up in other ways. You, of all people, should exhort your people to be respectful, hard working, upstanding citizens. Then, you'll discover, that most of your problems will fade away. Instead, you grievance mongers and race baiters keep your people constantly agitated, always blaming others for your problems, maintaining that huge chip on their shoulders. A lot of good that will do you, CBC.
where is the letter about all the black on black murders to the mayors of large cities. Or the black babies killed by abortionist.
“Sorry, CBC, MANY people of all races and colors are quite fearful for their lives when they encounter a Black person”
That includes Jesse Jackson who said when walking down a street and he hears a group of young men behind him, he feels relief when he turns around and sees they are white.
No
They should read the constitution. Then maybe I’ll read their ignorant rant
But probably not
“Do Congressmen take an oath?
Yes. The Constitution (Article VI, clause 3) requires that Senators and Representatives take an oath of office to support the Constitution. The specific language of the oath has changed several times since it was first administered in 1789. It is set by statute (5 U.S.C. 3331), enacted by Congress.”

It’s ok if they swear it on the pedophile’s “holy” book.
I think all politicians when sworn in have to declare they will defend and protect the constitution. Probably about 10% of them will actually do that.
Thanks. Totally forgot about him saying that.
And getting rich doing so. As a great American once said:
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." - Booker T. Washington
They wonder why Trump got elected
It’s all crazy
On the Five they’re saying how good it is for the Eagles to talk with the owners about grievances
They should say it’s wonderful that tge players can say they despise this country and people can follow either them or patriots in this metasticizing movement and the NFL owners are showing us how to grovel

WHO NEEDS RULES? NFL Players Arrested Every 7 Days On Average
ByJoseph Curl

The National Football League is in a golden age right now: It’s been 23 days since one of its players has been arrested.
The average time between arrests is just seven days, while the record without an arrest is slightly more than two months, at 65 days, according to NFLarrest.com, which “provides an interactive visualized database of National Football League player Arrests & Charges,” the site says.
Players get arrested for a variety of crimes: drunk driving, drug offenses, domestic violence, assault and battery, gun violations, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, theft, burglary, rape and even murder.
The NFL virtually embraces players who abuse women. Take this report in the Chicago Tribune: “In the first round [of the 2017 draft], the Oakland Raiders drafted Gareon Conley, who has been accused of rape. In the second round, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Mixon, who in a much-viewed video punches a woman so hard that she falls down unconscious. In the sixth round, the Cleveland Browns selected Caleb Brantley, who was accused of doing pretty much what Mixon did.”
The hypocrisy is so stark that Donald Trump Jr. fired out this fierce tweet on Sunday.
If only Roger Goodell cared as much about domestic abuse and traumatic brain injury as he does about disrespecting America. #nfl

The top team — at least in arrests — is, weirdly, the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFLarrest.com. Rounding out the Top 5: Denver, Cincinnati, Tennessee and Jacksonville.
By year, 2006 was a doozy: 71 arrests of NFL players. 2013 had 62 arrests, while last year was the lowest in the data base at just 28 arrests. This year, the players are setting a torrid pace:
Assault and battery - 7
Drugs - 6
DUI - 5
Domestic violence - 5
Disorderly conduct - 4
Resisting arrest - 2
Guns - 1
License/traffic - 1
Other - 1
That makes 32 arrests — and we’re only in Week 3.
The top crimes are:
DUI - 218
Drugs -100
Domestic violence - 98
Assault - 74
Disorderly conduct - 44
The most arrests: Adam Jones, with 10. Jones has played for both Tennessee and Cincinnati, and he’s been accused of poking a hotel worker in the eye, punching a woman, spitting in a woman’s face at a nightclub, and was “charged with felony coercion in connection to strip club shooting that paralyzed a man” (take a look at all his arrests here).
The top positions of those arrested:
Wide receiver - 140
Linebacker - 119
Cornerback - 116
Running back - 99
Defensive tackle - 80
So, maybe — just maybe — NFL players aren’t the best ones to be preaching to America about the perils of police brutality.
How about this no.
DNC can’t be happy. No chance to stop this before 2018 - if Trump didn’t make it too hard to stop, the CBC just did. And NBA will certainly continue after the superbowl. Dems and the media will spend the 2018 election be defending people who 1/2 the country think “Hate America”. And the face of “the cause” is millionaires playing games.
Football player, thug, gang member—act like a gangsta, you get your **** scattered. No excuses for color. Period.
Guess who’s not taking a knee, Cedric?
Any of the 17 million black babies killed since Roe v Wade, that’s who.
But keep on supporting the organization started by Margaret Sanger, who considered you a weed to be pulled simply because of your skin color. Her words, not mine.
Exactly, and what you cite is what has driven whites, Asians, and others from once decent neighborhoods to out and away areas. Nasty criminal behavior has a genetic basis apart from melanin content of the skin. For the thousandth time, color has nothing to do with it. White flight has always occurred to protect kids from black bullies, theft, and worse. I’ve lived it and so have many of my friends.
There will never be racial harmony in this nation as long as segregation is happening in the hallowed halls of Congress by the Congressional Black Caucus. You must be black to belong to the organization. Such a sad departure from Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of being judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.
The feral street negroes continue to slaughter each other ... and kill innocent folks as well.
